	San Antonio class amphibious transport dock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The San Antonio class is the United States Navy's primary class of amphibious transport dock (LPD).
		It is replacing the older Austin-, Cleveland-, and Trenton- class LPDs as well as the Anchorage-class dock landing ships, Newport-class tank landing ships, and one class that has already been retired, the Charleston-class amphibious cargo ships.
		The San Antonios also incorporate the latest quality of life standards for the embarked Marines and sailors, including the sit-up berth, ship services mall, and Learning Resource Center/Electronic Classroom with the flexibility to accommodate sailors and Marines of both sexes as part of the crew and embarked troops.

	San Diegans want a new Navy ship named after city \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		A number of San Diegans are working to change that, and their effort could be rewarded shortly when Navy Secretary Gordon England decides on the name for the next of the San Antonio class of amphibious transport dock ships.
		San Diego civic, political and business leaders worked last year to get that ship removed from the Navy's roster so the name would be available for a new vessel.
		The 12 San Antonio-class ships are being built at the Northrop Grumman shipyards in Pascagoula, Miss., and Gulfport, La. At 684 feet long and 25,500 tons, they are larger and much improved over the current class of amphibious transport ships, which they will replace.

		San Antonio is the lead ship in the Navy’s new LPD 17 class that will serve as the functional replacement of four amphibious ship classes, LPD 4, LSD 36, LST 1179 and LKA 113, that have reached or are nearing the end of their service life.
		San Antonio’s shipboard wide area network is a fiber optic shipwide large area computer network, which will support numerous operations including combat systems, ship systems, command and control nodes, and an integrated training system.
		San Antonio also features the advanced enclosed mast/sensor system (AEM/S) that replaces conventional masts, protecting radar and communications antennae from weather and reducing the ship’s vulnerability to detection by hostile radar.

	LPD-17 SAN ANTONIO Class
		The SAN ANTONIO (LPD 17) Class of amphibious transport dock ships represents the Navy and Marine Corps' future in amphibious warfare, and is one of the cornerstones in the strategic plan known as "Forward...from the sea".
		It is designed to support embarking, transporting, and landing elements of a Marine landing force in an assault by helicopters, landing craft, amphibious vehicles, and by a combination of these methods to conduct primary amphibious warfare missions.
		The LPD 17 class program will be the replacement for three classes of amphibious ships that have reached the end of their service life -- the LPD 4, LSD 36, and LST 1179 classes - and one class that has already been retired, the LKA 113.

	Class Reiki
		Fragile base class - The fragile base class problem is a fundamental architectural problem of object-oriented programming systems where base classes (superclasses) are considered "fragile" because seemingly safe modifications to a base class, when inherited by the derived classes, may cause the derived classes to malfunction.
		In Languages of Class Gareth Stedman Jones draws a distinction between two conceptions of class: the everyday class reiki and commonplace perception of its pervasiveness in England, class reiki and the Marxist idea of its revolutionary significance.
		He proceeds to challenge the predominant conceptions of the meaning class reiki and development of 'class consciousness' by stressing the political class reiki and discursive conditions in which particular languages appeared class reiki and receded.

		The DDG 51 class, which is intended to replace earlier surface combatant classes, was the first U.S. Navy ship designed to reduce radar cross-section and its detectability and likelihood of being targeted by enemy sensors and weapons.
		The class is expected to increase operational flexibility and survivability over each ship's 40-year lifespan and to operate at lower cost than previous amphibious transport ship classes.
		An objective of Virginia class is to reduce the life-cycle cost through better design and engineering resulting in one third fewer man-hours than were needed to construct Seawolf (SSN 21), the lead ship in the previous class of attack submarines.

		The Whidbey Island class dock landing ships were considered to old to be worth refitting and it was decided that a new vessel would be developed to replace the old vessels.
		As a result, the Point Defiance class dock landing ships were one of the few United States Naval vessels laid down soon after what is often called "The Mega-Damage Revolution." To reduce design costs, it was decided that the design would be based on a smaller San Antonio type design.
		Medical facilities are scaled back compared to the San Antonio class but the ship still has an effective medical center with a single operating room and twenty patient beds and fifty overflow beds.

		The San Antonio Class has had its share of teething problems, and so has the New Orleans shipyard to which most of this contract has been assigned.
		While an article in the San Antonio Express-News notes that the ship's radar signature will not be reduced as much as planned, compromising its survivability in littoral regions, they do have a smaller signature than the ship classes that precedes them.
		According to San Antonio Express-News, a less obvious but equally consequential source of trouble was a computer design program dubbed 3D CAD, which was touted for its ability to give three-dimensional views but was not up to the task of designing an entire ship.
